Mine didn't seem concerned at all. She said "wow the head is way way down, but cervix is closed so I'll see you in a week". My sister in law just told me the cervix can open retry quickly though. She had two kids and with her second she didn't even have time to check in and fill out her forms before she started pushing.

Idk about dilating but I was thick and closed at 38 weeks and now at 39 I'm all thinned out and 1cm dilated. I walked a lot, ate a whole pineapple, drank raspberry leaf tea, and had sex. Something worked!

I'm 36 weeks today and at my appt on Tuesday I was dilated one cm and she said everything looked like it was progressing well towards labor. I've been drinking red raspberry leaf tea, eating dates, using my exercise ball, and walking a lot. Just doing things to prep my body for labor so that it's hopefully easier.

Mine was closed at 37 weeks as well, and I just gave birth at 38.4 weeks. It doesn't mean much at this point, baby will come when baby is ready. You could fully dilate and have the baby tomorrow even, so don't fret because you haven't changed yet.
